Guntersville Post Office Closes After Arousal Gel Leak Found

A Guntersville post office was closed earlier this week in Alabama after a mysterious, oozing gel-like substance was found to be leaking from a package. Turns out it was just K-Y lubricant — a non-toxic gel used to “intensify sensation.”

He declined to comment on who the person was or who had sent the packages. Robinson did say, however, that the senders will be contacted, per standard procedure, to instruct them on how to properly package their items to avoid future incidents.

No doubt the recent spate of mail-based attacks, like the ricin poison letters mailed to President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg, has put postal workers on higher alert to dangerous packages.

Do you think this was a necessary precaution? Or was the Guntersville post office closure a product of our hyped-up concern over terrorism?
